If you like off-the-wall ideas, you should talk to Joey Loman because he’s full of them. As a somewhat reclusive Renaissance man from Kansas City, Missouri, he’s a television producer by day and an entrepreneur-inventor by night. He’s an avid musician and serves on the board of the Greenville music venue, The Channel. His most recent adventure is hatching the Upstate Makers Guild, an eclectic assembly of artists, engineers, and hobbyists who love making things. Joey Loman is a serial entrepreneur and has been an investor, founder, or partner in at least 14 small business startups. In his spare time he tends a small gourd garden with the dream of creating calabash gourd smoking pipes. He also likes grapes, solid and liquid derivatives of grapes, distillations of grape fluids, and grape flavored food products.

This is a precursor to his talk in December 9th.
